Non-absorbable nylon monofilament suture for skin closure and any site where you want long-term wound support with minimal tissue drag.
- Physical material: Nylon 6
- Absorbable / non-absorbable: non-absorbable
- Coating: N/A
- Colours: black and white
- Available size range: 1 through 6/0
- Tensile strength (wound support): long term wound support
- Tensile strength retention in tissue: non-absorbable, but loses about 10-15% strength per year
- Absorption time: degrades at a rate of about 10-15% per year
- Frequent uses: most body tissues for ligating and suturing; general closure; neurosurgery
Monofilament passes through tissue with less friction than braided material and harbours fewer bacteria, which is why it's the default for skin. The trade-off is knot security — plan on more throws than you'd use with silk.
